[Check out BOUNTY HUNTERS, the sequel to Errand Runners] Unlike the other criminals in Nova City, Nole Vale has a curfew. While most civilians just want to survive in their crime-ridden, gang-infested city, this sixteen-year old is determined to conquer the city streets and provide for his brother and sister by any means necessary. But after crashing into a mysterious teenager, Nole is suddenly accused of a crime he didn't commit and his stable way of life begins to crumble. With the help of a diverse, yet peculiar group of teenagers, he must navigate his way through lethal gangs, brutal City Enforcers, and a corrupt city system in order to clear his name and keep himself and his siblings alive.

Welcome to the new age. In the year 2090, players can enter a Lord of the Rings-like world for themselves. Jump into Tralheim. Join the revolution. Luke, a recent university graduate, Noelle, a high school dropout, and Tetsu, a sixty-five year old retired businessman have formed a fellowship, one built upon both companionship and trust. Together, their adventures have taken them from one end of the world to the next. After two years of play, they have conquered Tralheim and retired to a quaint seaside town. Luke prefers the quiet life, while Noelle is still haunted by scars from her past. And Tetsu? He’s just a perverted old man. Life is good. Unknown to them, something sinister moves in the dark. Something that will sunder the very rules of the game. Evil has its eyes on Luke, plotting his destruction from the Gray Tower. New companions, old enemies, and a talking wolf: Luke, Noelle, and Tetsu are in for one hell of a ride. They just don’t know it yet.

“Time continues on no matter what happens. It is alright to feel a little emotion, but too much might make you want to stop the passing of time altogether, and that is something that must never come to pass." Brynnia Ceas’s life is ruled by clocks. Her Great Line, the Ceas Line, is expected to be exactly like the enchanted clocks that never stop ticking – moving forward at all times, obedient and emotionless. Yet Bryn is unsatisfied with these rules and traditions and seeks something more from life – freedom, choice and the feeling of being alive. On the day of her coming of age, the princess learns of a plot against her Line that puts her whole family in danger. Surrounded by people she does not know if she can trust, she can only rely on two very different entities – her commoner friend, Gale, and the clock she keeps with her at all times, Elian. Time is running out and the race against the clocks to save everything she has ever known might bring Bryn to a truth she may not want to realize: that she is indeed a clock, even after everything she has done to fight against it.
